Reception for non-Ukrainian refugees

If you do not have Ukrainian citizenship, you are entitled to shelter in a Ukraine reception centre if:

• You had a valid, permanent Ukrainian residence permit on 23 February 2022 and did not leave Ukraine before 27 November 2021 and did not return to your country of origin before 23 February 2022.

• You were a refugee recognised by Ukraine on 23 February 2022.

• You are the partner, a minor child or dependent relative of someone covered by the Temporary Protection Directive.

• You were registered in the BRP before 19 July 2022. You are entitled to childcare in this case until 4 September 2023.

If you are not entitled to shelter in a Ukraine reception centre, there are two things you can do:

• If you are in danger in your home country, you can apply for asylum in Ter Apel.

• If you can safely return to your country of origin, then you can return. If you cannot manage your trip back, contact DTundefinedV or IOM.

If you are entitled to a place at a municipal reception centre but were refused or evicted, please get in touch with a branch of VluchteligenWerk Nederland in your area. There people can help you check whether you are indeed entitled to a place at a reception centre and contact the municipality.
